Israeli Author's Debut is a Scream

In Gilad Elbom's Scream Queens of the Dead Sea, a young graduate of the Israeli army decides to moonlight as an assistant nurse at a mental institution in Jerusalem. The job seems like a nice break from everyday life in the Promised Land. What could be easier than exercising power over a small group of heavily medicated zombies? But as the human inventory inside the insane asylum begins to mirror the psychotic norms of the outside world, the inexperienced ex-soldier finds himself trapped in a hilarious yet terrifying freak show.
